ROME (AP) — Chasing its first title since Diego Maradona played for the club, Napoli thrashed 10-man Pescara 5-1 Sunday to move back within two points of Serie A leader Juventus.

Gokhan Inler and Edinson Cavani each scored twice and Marek Hamsik also found the target for Napoli. Iceland midfielder Birkir Bjarnason scored for last-place Pescara in the 18th minute to briefly make it 2-1, and the match turned back in Napoli's favor when Pescara defender Antonio Bocchetti was sent off for tripping Cavani in the 57th.

Also Sunday, Inter Milan struggled to beat Palermo 1-0 with an own goal from Santiago Garcia in the 74th.

Juventus, which beat 10-man Torino 3-0 in the Turin derby Saturday, has 35 points. Napoli is next with 33 and Inter is third with 31.

Maradona led Napoli to its only two Serie A titles, in 1987 and 1990.

Napoli finished third two seasons ago, but struggled to balance domestic duties with the Champions League last season and fell to fifth.

"There's still a long way to go," Hamsik said. "We face Inter next, so it's going to be a matchup of two squads that are in form."

Lazio is fourth with 29 points after beating Parma 2-1 with goals from Giuseppe Biava and Miroslav Klose.

Fiorentina had a chance to rejoin Inter in third when it puts its eight-match unbeaten run on the line against Sampdoria later Sunday.

Also, sixth-place Roma came back to beat Siena 3-1 with two goals from Mattia Destro and one from Simone Perrotta.

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Costa Rica forward Joel Campbell scored from long range to give Real Betis a 3-2 victory at Deportivo La Coruna in the Spanish league on Sunday.

Back-to-back wins for Betis lifted it into fourth place and the Champions League positions.

Ruben Castro put Betis in control with his seventh and eighth goals of the season in the 39th and 55th minutes, both coming from crosses by Ignacio "Nacho" Perez.

Ivan "Riki" Sanchez pulled Deportivo level with goals in the 56th and 61st, and Deportivo coach Jose Oltra sent on an extra striker for a defender in the 72nd, looking to complete the comeback.

But four minutes later, Campbell was given time to pick his spot before unleashing an unstoppable left-foot shot that landed just inside the far post to secure all three points.

Also, Espanyol ended a run of three straight league losses by drawing 0-0 at relegation-threatened Granada in the first game for new Espanyol coach Javier Aguirre.

Later Sunday, Levante is at Celta Vigo, and Mallorca hosts Zaragoza. Valladolid is at Sevilla on Monday.

NORWICH, England (AP) — Norwich withstood a second-half effort by struggling Sunderland to claim a 2-1 win in the Premier League on Sunday, extending its unbeaten run to eight matches.

Cameroon center back Sebastien Bassong finished from close range to put Norwich ahead in the eighth minute, with midfielder Anthony Pilkington making it 2-0 in the 37th with a confident strike.

Sunderland hit back through Craig Gardner's low strike from outside the area in the 44th and applied heavy pressure after the break, with Gardner striking the post, Matt Kilgallon missing an open goal and Stephane Sessegnon denied in a one-on-one situation.

Sunderland remained fourth from bottom, with two wins from 14 games. Norwich climbed a place to 12th, level on points with Liverpool and seven clear of the relegation zone.

Hoffenheim remains in the relegation playoff place after its fourth straight defeat and club manager Andreas Mueller did not provide Babbel with any reassurances after what he called an "almost lifeless" performance at home.

"We have to sit down together," Mueller said. "I can't answer whether it will go on with Markus."

Hamburg held on for a 1-1 draw at Wolfsburg.

PARIS (AP) — Center half Souleymane Diawara and winger Andre Ayew both scored as Marseille won 2-1 at Brest on Sunday to move two points behind French leader Lyon and knock struggling Paris Saint-Germain out of the top three places.

Marseille took the lead in the 35th minute when midfielder Joey Barton pulled the ball back for Diawara to score with a powerful shot into the top corner.

After Dutch striker Charlison Benschop tied it in the 43rd, Barton also provided the pass for Ayew to grab the winner in the 57th as Marseille bounced back from a 4-1 home thrashing by Lyon.

"I was hoping for a reaction after the Lyon game. It was a good one, and the players fought hard in difficult conditions," Marseille coach Elie Baup said. "It's a shame we didn't get a third goal as we had our chances, but our commitment was brilliant."

Barton was making only his third league appearance since joining from Queens Park Rangers in the offseason.

PSG, which lost 2-1 at Nice on Saturday, is now in fourth place behind third-place Saint-Etienne on goal difference.

Meanwhile, Rennes came back from 2-0 down to win 3-2 at lowly Troyes and climb up to seventh place.

GLASGOW, Scotland (AP) — Hibernian needed a late own goal to knock Edinburgh rival Hearts out of the Scottish Cup on Sunday, while Rangers had a much easier time progressing to the fifth round.

David Wotherspoon's 84th-minute strike deflected off Marius Zaliukas into the back of the net to earn Hibs a 1-0 win, ending Hearts' 12-match unbeaten run in derby encounters.

Rangers, which plays in the fourth tier of Scottish soccer after being demoted from the Premier League because of financial problems, beat Elgin 3-0 thanks to goals by Dean Shiels, Kevin Kyle and Kal Naismith.

Celtic, Rangers' bitter Glasgow rival, could only draw 1-1 at home to third-tier side Arbroath on Saturday, forcing the Scottish champions into a replay.
